Rose Buds

The rose is said to be native to Iran where the plant has been cultivated. It may be mentioned here that the 6th century B.C. Greek poet Sappho had portrayed the rose as the ‘queen of flowers’. On the other hand, in Rome, rose was associated with all festivities and the Romans ate the flower’s petals as food. Roses have flavors that are sweet, with subtle undertones ranging from fruit to mint to spice.
